also given the risk involved in teaching, it’s fucked up that universities don’t want to pay tenure-line professors to take the risk by being the lead instructors for these courses

This isn't unstoppable. It's not inevitable. It's greedy, short-sighted anti-human solipsists that have been rewarded by crony capitalism to the point of being toxic toward society, who think they have the right. These are the same people that want to go to space, but only with the "right" people.

It's cost me my livelihood personally, but it's coming for all of us. Literally all of us. Rich people have lost their ability to think long term, so they are going to doom humanity with this, and not in a Skynet way. These are anti-human humans and they need to be stopped, and it's up to US, sadly.

So many people have dismissed me because it's a bubble and bubbles burst, but like, this one needs opposition. This bubble NEEDS to burst, and the entire apparatus of rich people is trying to reinforce it. We have to make AI not only a class traitor thing, but extremely dorky and uncool.

IDK but probably the ideal health specimen is like the 85 year old grandparent in Flushing doing Tai Chi in the park. They were fit enough to get to the park and follow the Tai Chi movements at their big ole age.

(sincerely)

We also don't talk enough about how the demands of a sport and the demands of long-term health and longevity are not always compatible.

Football and CTE are the most extreme examples of this, but we need to stop thinking that athletes are healthy, period (said neutrally)

gabe woolley, an oklahoma state rep, repeatedly misgenders the TA here and says the OU student that vaguely alluded to the bible in her essay "cited real science"

idk not to mention how very nuanced and normal the actual response here was

Really hard not to see this whole thing as an effort to get a trans person fired from her TA job

Like you didn't actually even site the bible, you just vaguely alluded to it?

And one more other thing I’m seeing now, that Northwestern unsurprisingly didn’t mention in its statement, effectively banning gender affirming care at NU school of medicine

One other notable thing here: Northwestern said a few months ago it would fund own research through the end of the year, but remained unclear about what would happen at the start of 2026

Today is Nov. 28 and funding will be restored within 30 days…have to imagine the timing was intentional
